First draft
The Last Borrower
When a rare local history book disappears from Coventry Central Library, the staff assume it is a tidy little theft with a tidy little explanation. Then the missing volume turns up linked to an old unsolved death, and the library’s borrowing records start pointing in directions nobody wants to follow. The case drags a quietly observant cataloguer into a mess of family grudges, altered archives and one very inconvenient truth about who gets to decide what history survives.
